Last week i upgraded my Compaq 524 CDS from DX2-66 to a AMD 5x86. The machine worked fine, but the PC only sees 500MB of my CF card. Before the CPU upgrade i had a 2 GB Partition,

First i thought it just was a freak event, but today i am upgrading a IBM PS/1 from DX2-66 to a AMD DX4-100 and i have the exact same problem with my CF Card. The CF card is 8GB.
Fdisk only sees 528MB, and BIOS the same. There is no option in the BIOS to set other sizes.
On the Compaq CDS the BIOS had options to set pother sizes, but it would reset to 500MB on every boot.

Update. I checked the CF card that was on the PS1 before the CPU upgrade it was less than 500MB, so i cannot say for sure its the same issue.
Update 2: Does 486SocketBlaster break LBA?
